Ducks-Sharks: Game 6 at a glance

Teemu Selanne and Francois Beauchemin scored their first goals of the current postseason in Monday night's 4-1 victory over the Sharks. Selanne's tally was the 10th game-winning goal of his career in the postseason, and his first since Game 5 of the 2007 Western Conference Finals at Detroit.

THUMBS DOWN

The Ducks didn't get off to the good start they were hoping for and found themselves taking a lot of dumb penalties in the first period. The Sharks converted on one of their three power-play opportunities in the opening frame, taking a 1-0 lead.

DID YOU SEE THAT?

Monday's game was only two seconds old when centers Ryan Getzlaf and Joe Thornton decided to drop the gloves. Getzlaf said afterward that Thornton had challenged him to a fight on Saturday when the teams were in San Jose. Getzlaf didn't think it was a good idea to do it then but thought better of it this time.

THEY SAID IT

“We battled, we fought, but that's what happens when you lose the first two games at home. That's really tough. They've got you by the throat and they keep you down. We were never able to recover after the first two losses.” –Sharks goalie Evgeni Nabokov.
